History
XHFO received its initial concession on November 26, 1964. It was owned by Raymundo Romero Damian.
XHFO signed on in 1979 as "Radio Triunfadora", being renamed to "Crystal FM" in 1982, with a contemporary Spanish music format. In 1993, as grupera music began to gain success, the station was lent to Grupo Radio Centro in exchange for XEEST-AM in a relationship that has been extended for more than 20 years. GRC promptly changed the name and format of XHFO to "Sonido Z" with grupera and regional Mexican music. In 1996 it was renamed "La Z".
On December 7, 1998, a format swap occurred between XHFO and XEQR-FM, with XHFO adopting the English classic hits format "Universal Stereo" that had begun in 1974, whereas "La Z" moved to XEQR. The swap was due to both formats being in close proximity to competitor stations with almost the same formats (XEQ-FM and XHDFM-FM).
On May 16, 2016, Universal 92.1 and XHRED 88.1 swapped formats.
Format
Red FM's format consists of multiple longform newscasts throughout the day, featuring such hosts as Sergio Sarmiento, Jacobo Zabludovsky (until his death) and Jesús Martín Mendoza. The newscasts are carried on AM and FM, but an afternoon sports program, a nightly business-oriented program called "Red Empresarial", a Saturday program about cars called "Autoexplora Radio" and blocks of contemporary music in English from the 1980s to the present, hosted by Isabel Angulo, are exclusive to FM. Every year since 2013, the station's musical blocks turn into an all-Christmas music format from late November until Christmas Day (for the 2015 Christmas season, it even launched an online spin-off of 24/7 all-Christmas music). Red FM also airs Sunday night games during the NFL season.
